I know about some of you already, but out of curiosity, what is the most classes that you have ever put into a single character? My personal highest was 4 with my Drow ranger1/paladin2/rogue1/magex, but throughout the game I wondered if adding a level of fighter would be advantageous. I suppose a potential Ultra-AC build could have 5 classes: a deep gnome fighter/monk/rogue/dreadmaster/conjuror gets to around 76 AC with buffs. Of course, you get at least a 20% xp penalty for that.

So, has anyone ever packed 5 or more classes into a character?

Once, I installed the No-Alignment requirement mod, and tried to make a single character with all the classes, just for fun. Erm... ALL the classes... is not... really effective [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But my greatest achievement was a figter10/ranger10/paladin10. Not for the mad amount of multiclassing, but for the sheer power of a spell-immune Drow hacking at trolls and undead and orcs with GH and CS, and huge saves, and stuff. He ruled quite much. So, IMHO, you'll never actually need 4 classes over 3, if for anything, then for the probability of having xp penalties..

Sounds cool! I may try that sometime... though I need to try the non-powergamy party after my current run. In fact, it crossed my mind to turn my current drow into that guy, but he has an insufficient DEX and is using greataxes

Yea, you really don't need 4 classes if you have other party members to take the workload, but my 4 classed mage was designed to take the roguery, magery, and pladin bonuses, and of course having a mage who can effectively cut you up with dual daggers is handy, too.

Jerry, wouldn't that give you an xp penalty?

Mega bump here, but I was considering a Femal Drow Fighter 4/Monk 3/Ranger 3/Dreadmaster 20

Awesome AC, spell resistance, Evasion, dual weilding. Wow.

Oh well. I can't understand why typing "x less than y" is forbidden.

Some html tags re restricted. Sometimes if you use the '<' and '>' they are mistaken for html tags and are not allowed.

Back on topic (seeing how its already resurrected, I might as well post mine) it was druid 27 / fighter 1 / cleric dreadmaster bane 1 / transmuter 1.
Fighter for armor + weapons
Dreadmaster for dreadmaster bonus
Transmuter for transmuter bonus.
